All of the surtitles are used for addressing different people and genders.
-San is used for our equals or superiors, both female and male. EX: peers, non close friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc.
-Chan is often used exclusively for young girls or children (babies). It is used among very close friends to add endearment to their names. It also makes their name "cuter" so it is often added to the end of children's' (girls) names.
-Kun is used exclusively for young boys. It is used as -san is used for adult men and women. However, boys are only addressed as "-kun" until their early 20's, or sooner, and then people will begin to call them "-san."
